SCENE FIVE
Narrator- Richard Cory is pissed off. (He writes in his journal).

The past two days, have been the worst one of my life. It seems that all my friends are better than me. Usually i am the best one around. I hate hearing their stories about what they can do and i hate how all of them say im perfect when I feel like a moron. I can't take this anymore. It seems that i am no use on this earth. I used to allways humble myself but i cant do this anymore. The best soulution to me is to end my life here. Right now i dont think that ill have any regrets by doing this.

Richard Cory puts the 9mm to his skull, and pulls the trigger.

SCENE SIX
Narrator- Richard Cory's friends are attending his funeral and they put in their words.

They all said that he was to never be jelous and that he was some one with a smooth road ahead of him. He was rich and was very well liked. What more can he ask for. Many weep in tears thinking about how much they wanted to be him. Nobody ever told him that he was everbody's role model.......
